Martin Ellerby writes : The work is intended to be a bright, optimistic and lyrical concerto, accessible to players and audiences alike and completes my set of five concertos designed for key chairs of a brass band : in order of writing - Tuba ( Eb Bass ) Euphonium Tenor Horn Trombone Cornet.
The work falls into three contrasting movements :
01. BRILLANTE - A traditional sonata form is adopted and adapted, the two subjects being firstly a lively fanfare type figure followed by a second cantabile theme. These ideas are worked out until eventually a cadenza section is reached which is followed by a coda which, though concluding is light in dynamics.
02. ARIETTA - The emphasis is placed on legato phrases and an overall singing quality from both soloist and accompanist who share the material in lyrical partnership.
03. RONDINO - Another traditional form, rondo, is employed for the finale and here attention is turned to rhythm with contrasting changes of metre creating a restless journey towards a dynamic, and this time certain conclusion.
